The byU
game is just a tune up for our season in the PAC 12.Utah was in the hunt for a
PAC 12 championship up to the last game last year. Do I think that they have a
good chance to get into that position this year? No. However, it is still a
possibility. The games still have to be played.

on the other side,
byU will have nothing to play for if they lose once this year. That is fact.

BYU has much bigger prospects on the schedule this year and every upcoming
season than the Utes.

Try Boise State, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech,
Oregon State, Washington State. That is big time football and with BYU's
ESPN partnership, National Television exposure, and top 25 rankings, BYU is
better positioned to play big time football now than ever in its football
history. As the Utes take their rightful place as the new found door mat of the
Pac-12, who even lowly Colorado beats, they will need BYU more than ever to make
them at least relevant for an in state championship. Chris and Kyle would do
well to keep that in mind.

Most Ute fans still care more about
beating BYU that anything that goes on in the Pac-12, and that will continue,
because it is much easier to win one game against a hated top 25 program than to
amount to anything when playing a multitude of top 25 programs in the Pac-10 as
one recent ESPN analyst referred to it.

"Utah was in the hunt for a PAC 12 championship up
to the last game last year."

Sorry to burst your hyperbolic
bubble, but Utah was NEVER in the hunt for a PAC 12 championship last year. The
Utes only a chance at the PAC south because USC was ineligible, and even IF the
Utes hadn't been humiliated by pathetic Colorado, the Utes would have been
destroyed by Oregon.

Utah already has nothing to play for.

The Utes don't stand a chance against ASU, USC or UCLA, so the best the
Utes can hope for is an upset of BYU and a slight chance of playing in a bowl.

Utah's offense better be able to score points. This is not the same team
that Utah faced a year ago in Provo. Gone is the devided team that was trying to
find it's identity and a quarterback to play for. Heaps is gone, and
it's now Riley's team. Riley Nelson is a senior and a true leader, and
a very fiery competitor. Yes, I would go so far as to say that Riley is a better
quarterback than Chucky Keaton, and this BYU team has way more talented
offensive players than Utah State. with that being said BYU will score on Utah,
and the only thing that is going to keep the Utes in the game, is to score more
points than BYU. I really don't see this happening with John Hayes at the
helm, and a Utah offensive line that cannot block. Utah State's defensive
front controlled Utah's offensive line a week ago, hense an injured Jordan
Wynn. The only reason Hayes didn't get hurt, was his scrambling ablities.
BYU has better linebackers and safeties than Utah State. Prediction: BYU 35 Utah

Howard,You just proved what every Cougar fan has been saying all along.
Utah fans use the byu game as the measurement of success. I didn't compare
Colorado's defense to Idaho's or NMS; you did. Maybe you should be
making the comparison to PAC teams, but you won't because your only measure
of success for last year is that Utah beat BYU. That's why Utah will never
go to the Rose Bowl. As long as you beat BYU, your happy.
